State Secretaries of the V4 Ministries of Defence met in Senior Body format in Tatranská Lomnica on 17-18 October. This was the first such meeting the Slovak Republic Slovakia has hosted since taking over the V4 Presidency in July 2018.
During the V4 Senior Body meeting, State Secretary Róbert Ondrejcsák and his counterparts Jakub Landovský, István Szabó and Tomasz Szatkowski concentrated their attention on NATO, EU and V4 topics of current interest. Among the most resonating issues were capabilities development, force readiness, NATOʼs adapted Command Structure, PESCO, including the review of joint projects, and the stand-up of the V4 EU Battlegroup in 2019.
In his statement, State Secretary Róbert Ondrejcsák said: “We perceive the V4 Presidency as a good opportunity to take the priority areas of our defence cooperation forward. Towards this end, we put emphasis on capabilities development, stand-up of joint units, education, training and exercises.”
The V4 State Secretaries agreed they will submit a proposal for another battlegroup to be stood up in 2023, whilst at the same time looking for joint solutions to military mobility by strengthening infrastructure.
